VS_SOLUTION_DEPLOY

New in version 3.18.


Specify that the target should be marked for deployment when not targeting Windows CE, Windows Phone or a Windows Store application.

If the target platform doesn't support deployment, this property won't have any effect.

Generator expressions are supported.

Examples

Always deploy target foo:

add_executable(foo SHARED foo.cpp)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY VS_SOLUTION_DEPLOY ON)

Deploy target foo for all configurations except Release:

add_executable(foo SHARED foo.cpp)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY VS_SOLUTION_DEPLOY "$<NOT:$<CONFIG:Release>>")
